perhaps there might be hype about david lynch making music because everything he's ever done has shown a huge feeling for records, just saying.
heard the isolée single on beats in space before xmas and despite him seeming to do shitty remixes and stuff for the last few years it is really brilliant. love it.

― O Permaban (NickB), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 20:51 (thirteen years ago) link
giving this isolée album another try. really not feeling it. it's nice enough but i'm not hearing any particularly exciting ideas here.

I really like "Hold On". I'll bet this wld sound excellent on headphones; last one definitely did
― Egyptian Raps Crew (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 5 January 2011 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link
the few tracks i've heard might as well have been produced back in the beau mot plage era. i mean sure, listen to it, but not getting hyped
― fauxmarc, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
allowed myself a brief, naive shiver of excitement over new Aphex - probably will either not happen or be disappointing, and I have felt no need to listen to Drukqs since like 2002, but some of the Analords are still jamz, so the potential is still there
Forest Swords is a much safer bet for "I will dig this" tho

Voted Isolee - but it's a horrible list considering Fact's reputation. Around half of the list are scarcely viable options (as albums anyway), either musicians vaguely mentioning that they might get round to releasing an album in the future, remix albums, or in Villalobos case a double 12" (which for him is the equivalent of a 7"). Jamie Woon second on the list, his recent freebie has also really impressed me.
It's not like there wasn't enough actually confirmed albums to mention - such as:
Nicholas Jaar - Space is Only NoiseMungolian Jet Set - SchlongsDiscodeine - DiscodeineMoritz Von Oswald Trio - Horizontal Structures

"There's something about Kode9 that brings out the chinstroking bore even in writers I usually like reading."
well thats cos they all try and compete with his own writing as theyre writing about him. sort of odd. as in, you dont see writers trying to write like novelists when they interview them.

It's gotta be the new DRE man. He takes a decade to drop an album and they are always great.

dude get the isolée album and expiate
but yuh there's a lot of waste there too

wouldn't be so sure — I have it on good authority that the What the Hell Even Is All This Garbage? record is nearing completion
― Egyptian Raps Crew (bernard snowy), Thursday, 6 January 2011 11:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Apparently David Lynch has already released a single? Is it any good?
I agree with Ronan here I think, I'd trust him to nail the atmosphere even if he doesn't have the tunes.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 11:58 (thirteen years ago) link
also totally uninterested in david lynch making music. would there be the same hype if sofia coppola suddenly said she was going to release an album? or would there be mockery instead?
Not an exact parallel as they're actresses but Scarlett Johanssen and Charlotte Gainsbourg have both had well-received records so why not Sofia Coppola, if the music was good?
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:00 (thirteen years ago) link
if we're talking about albums from non-musicians in 2011, easily my most anticipated is kim kardashian's
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:19 (thirteen years ago) link
actually the kim kardash opus is probably my most anticipated full stop
the david lynch single was kinda boring btw
Posts very much in character. Hope there's a duet with Justin Bieber where they pretend to be a couple and she sounds like she would rather be anywhere else in the world.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:20 (thirteen years ago) link
dude terius is producing it!
TERIUS
and KIM KARDASHIAN
it is going to be INCREDIBLE
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:22 (thirteen years ago) link
That's a pre-emptive entry on the "albums that oughtta get 10.0" thread, right? Kim Kardashian is less obviously a terrible human being than Paris so I'm sort of anticipating this. Hoping Terius veers more into riotous Electrik Red/Basic Instinct territory rather than breathy sex ballads though.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:33 (thirteen years ago) link
there's two, one dumb "electropop" song and one drony/ambient track that'd one expect from him

Several major publications are already reserving their number one spot for 2011 for it.

don't really see the need for albums but out of these...uh the villalobos might be good (is it the ECM stuff?) the isolee is...a grower but a bit of a disappointment at same time...not sure yet (do love one of the tracks on there tho) - each time i'm going to play it i end up playing the christopher rau lp instead
instra:mental could be good - no idea bout these at all, but was really into 'lets talk' last year

wow, i finally listened to the james blake album expecting to dislike it based on all the trashing its getting here, and....i kinda like it! i can see why people might get really evangelical about this in a talk talk way sorta, though its way more monochrome than those talk talk records and probably more similar to something like bon iver in tone and scope. definitely not dubstep in any way though imo
― ciderpress, Thursday, 6 January 2011 18:07 (thirteen years ago) link
i wouldn't go that far, even 'limit to your love' is 140 bpm with bass that's pretty clearly influenced by dubstep
